For a brainchild of Shigeru Miyamoto, the Star Fox series sure doesn’t feel all that supported. Loaned out to other developers since the beginning, Nintendo themselves have really only flown one solo mission — Star Fox 64. Call it bias, call it familiarity, call it quality; there’s a reason we…
A listing for what appears to be a new Metroid game for Nintendo Switch 2 has leaked online. Titled Metroid Ravenous, journalist Felipe Lima spotted the title on a page from Brazil’s Ministry of Justice and Public Security system. The listing has since been removed, but screenshots have been shared…
Limited Run Games has announced a physical release of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot for Nintendo Switch 2, including a standard version and a Collector’s Edition with extra goodies. Available to pre-order from July 2nd until August 2nd, both versions of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition include a boxed copy of…

It’s only been about six months since Final Fantasy VII Remake hit the Nintendo Switch 2 and received a perfect 10 from yours truly. But despite all of its ambition, Remake was still largely confined to the game’s opening city of Midgar. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth changes that almost immediately,…
It’s always an exciting time when the developer of an indie darling gets to branch out into something new. Yacht Club Games, the creators of perhaps one of the most iconic indie games of all-time, Shovel Knight, had plenty to prove with their venture into a brand-new, non-Shovel Knight property,…
You know the days of the mascot platformer are far from over when Bubsy Bobcat has somehow returned. You may, or may not, recognize the maligned feline from some of the most disdained platformers of the ’90s. The unfortunately one-sided match-up that was the fascinatingly disastrous Bubsy 3D on PlayStation…
I’ve made no secret of my fondness for Bandai Namco’s Tales series of RPGs. Ever since my GameCube-era intro via Tales of Symphonia they’ve been a comfort food of engaging battle systems, subversive storylines, fleshed out parties and… well, comfort food. Though the Switch saw no unique entry in the…
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of those games I saw everywhere over the past two years, backed by an absolutely massive marketing push and near universal critical acclaim. But for whatever reason, I never paid much attention to it. I mean, it was an Xbox and PC…
Developer Poncle has made a name for itself in the four years since Vampire Survivors launched in 2022. Releasing for budget pricing and offering a frankly ridiculous amount of value per dollar, Vampire Survivors became an overnight sensation for reasons that are maybe a bit hard to put into words….
Disclaimer: This review discusses the Steam version of Mouse: P.I. For Hire, meaning the performance only covers that specific platform’s performance. Once we’ve received the Switch 2 version, the review will be updated to detail Nintendo’s system performance. As of this time of writing, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is…
When it was first revealed in 2020, I don’t think anyone knew what to make of Pragmata. More than likely I offhandedly called it “that space game” and moved on. It wasn’t until about a year ago, when someone mentioned it in passing, that I even remembered it existed. Next…
Super Meat Boy 3D’s title takes me back to the ’90s when modernizing the platformer genre meant making it 3D instead of 2D. It’s not just the title that takes me back though. The game’s concept revolves around you, a tiny block of meat with arms & legs, navigating gigantic…
I’ve heard Pokopia described a lot of ways since its reveal. Pokémon’s answer to Animal Crossing, for one. A baffling use of the maligned Game Key Card for another. Yet after a month of near-daily play with the game, I think it might be this post-launch praise that feels most…
One of my fondest gaming memories of the last couple of years was playing through Kena: Bridge of Spirits with my wife when it launched on PlayStation 5 back in the fall of 2021. It’s a gorgeous game that we both fell in love with, but I found myself often…
